My sentimental heart was a little overwhelmed to not only hear that The Kills were releasing a new music video, but also to hear that it was for the track, "The Last Goodbye," from their latest release, Blood Pressures. This song is one of my favorites off of the new album, and it showcases the relationship that breeds their musical genius. Yes yes...I'm a little biased, but disregarding that little fact, it is testament to my love of their slower, more introspective moments. Sure, I like it when Jaime goes crazy on the guitar, and Alison shrieks with darkness on her poor microphone, but their quieter moments are the huge selling point with me. Listen to "Goodnight Bad Morning," and you'll see what I mean. But, you can view the video below...enjoy:

In other news, it's been announced that Adele will take the stage at the 2012 Brit Awards, on February 21. The singer underwent surgery due to some vocal problems, having to cancel some 2011 dates to recover. But, fans will finally get to see her play live again, and who knows...her voice may be even better (if that's at all possible).
Lastly, Matt Skiba, lead singer from Alkaline Trio, has added a side project to his bucket list, and called it Matt Skiba and the Sekrets. They will release their finished debut album later this year, and it's going to be called Babylon. Oh, I also have to mention that the band also has members from AFI and My Chemical Romance. So, if you're a fan of any of these bands, which I'm sure some of you are, then you might want to be on the lookout for it.
LISTENING: Today was a sketchy day for me. I spent the morning listening to First Aid Kit's The Big Black and The Blue. Then, I switched gears toward the evening, and went for a somewhat livelier tone by listening to Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and though it's probably considered old with the ADD way of thinking that's become so popular, I never realized just how good "Runaway" is. Definitely making it onto a personal "best of..." list. You can view the video below: (Apologies, this version is edited)
That's all. PEACE
